One of the best things I can say about this record is that it’s a Car Seat Headrest fan’s record. Which is good, because I like them, but the obvious band identity aside I can’t find much where this album stands out. I really liked the track ‘Reality’ which was quite David Gilmour-like, but otherwise the album pleasantly passed me by. It’s also quite long.

"Nobody wants to grow up". There's a lot to this album. I admit I started out sceptical about what it would be after listening to Spike Island, but it really brought me back around quickly with Tina and Grown Ups. I think this album has a really strong central message. This is an album that deals directly with aging and the passage of time. It does well what all Pulp does well, the captivating spoken word of Jarvis Cocker is again predominant but not overpowering. Lyrically it is strong too. I feel like as an album it also has most of what I would hope for, a building sense of purpose and resolution. Broadly, the medicine for the passage of time is love. I don't think it says that in too cheesy or juvenile a way, either. Lots to like.

A warm welcome back to the game by a light jazz album. I would say it did a great job of treading lightly without ever blowing me away

I really enjoyed this. So much range on the album and I think it toes the 'gimmicky' line very well. Fun record with lots of genuine quality.

I enjoyed listening to this record, it's one you can really kick back to, and I got the feeling it was the kind of sound you hear sitting around a firepit with an acoustic guitar. It felt warm. I also think the approach to lyric writing is interesting, certain tracks like 'Micheline' feel like I'm being narrated the artist's diary.

I found this really hard to rate because it's pretty stripped back and simple, and yet it's so joyful. It says a lot without saying all that much. Pretty much exactly what I was expecting knowing only his big cover. Thought the Country Roads cover was particularly endearing.

Have really enjoyed this record, I feel like I should be skipping along a beach.

I often think Fun Prog Rock is a difficult genre to really master, there's always the risk that the album sounds really goofy. I think this album is a really good example of how to do it right.

A really solid album with a great sound from start to finish.

Enjoyed the title track a lot, it was a really interesting idea, and I liked the concept of the album, Akala's vision, and the sound. It absolutely stands out, but even still, I didn't feel as though it hit me in the way I was expecting it to? I don't know how else to describe it except that I didn't think 'wow' afterwards, even though I'd been enjoying it throughout.
